Gallardo was pulled over at 2:10 a.m. in Milwaukee for driving slowly and deviating lanes on Interstate 94. According to the report, he failed a field sobriety test and had a blood alcohol level of .22 (the legal limit in Wisconsin is .08). The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports another driver called 911 to report a suspected drunken driver.

As a first-time offender, Gallardo will not face jail time but will have to pay a $778 fine, ESPNWisconsin.com reports.

"I just want to apologize to the fans, my teammates, my family. It's just a bad call. It's something I shouldn't have done. I regret it. But at this point there's nothing I can do about it now. It happened. I just want to apologize to the whole organization and all of the people in Milwaukee for my actions," Gallardo told reporters Tuesday, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

"It's not very easy. It's one of those things where I truly am sorry. I'm going to make sure something like this never happens again. Whatever the circumstances or consequences, whatever I have to do so this won't happen again, I'm going to do it."

The Brewers released this statement earlier Tuesday: “We have been made aware of the situation with Yovani and we take this matter very seriously. We have expressed our disappointment to him and know he understands that behavior of this nature is of great concern to everyone in the organization. Yovani has acknowledged the seriousness of this incident and is taking full accountability for his actions.”

The 27-year-old Gallardo was a second-round pick by the Brewers in 2004 and made his major league debut in 2007. He has posted double-digit win totals in each of the past four seasons and has topped the 200-inning mark the past two seasons. Gallardo was an All-Star in 2010.

In three starts this season, Gallardo is 0-1 with a 6.61 ERA. He is scheduled to start at Miller Park on Thursday afternoon against the San Francisco Giants.
